2, various types of foreign wine have what characteristics
1) Brandy (BRANDY) brandy is the translation of the English BRANDY, originating in France, the use of grapes or other fruits as raw materials, fermentation, distillation of the wine obtained by the storage of oak barrels made of aging (if other fruits brewed, it should be written on the name of the fruit). The wine is golden and transparent in color, with a strong fragrance, and the degree of wine is 38-43 degrees.
The predecessor of brandy is actually white wine, which is best produced in France, and naturally, French brandy is also the original. For example: Cognac (COGNAC), Armagnac (ARMAGNAC), Spanish brandy, American brandy, KIRSCHWASSER (cherry brandy), CALVADOS or APPLE JACK (apple brandy), SLIVOVITZ (plum brandy), and other fruit brandies.
Cognac brandy (COGNAC BRANDY) is especially famous in the world. Cognac is an old town in the southwest of France by the river CHARENTE, which is also the most famous grape-producing region. It is blessed with a favorable climate and soil for grape growing. Therefore, the wine brandy made from grapes in this region is collectively called Cognac to show its preciousness. In order to ensure the quality of the brandy, the French government has set up strict rules for the name of Cognac; only brandy made from grapes produced in the Cognac region and brewed in the region can be named Cognac.
The brandy is aged in oak barrels to give it more flavor. The texture of the oak plays a big part in this process. The best brandies are made from a mixture of different ages and sources of various brandies. The types and proportions of these are kept secret by the distiller.
2) Whisky - WHISKY Whisky is a translation of the English word WHISKEY, originally from England, is one of the famous Western European spirits. The traditional way is to barley, rye, corn as raw materials, with barley malt as saccharification agent by liquid method of fermentation and distillation into oak barrels after aging, the wine is golden and transparent, cool amber, slightly spicy and mellow, the degree of alcohol for 40-42 degrees. The main places of origin of whisky are: Scotland, Canada, Ireland, Japan, but the most famous and most representative of the whisky are Scotch whisky, Irish whisky and American whisky.
Scotch whisky (scotch? whisky) originated in Scotland, after drying, peat smoking and roasting to produce a unique flavor of barley malt as fermentation raw materials made. Its brewing through six processes, namely: malting barley soaked in water, drying, crushing malt, into the tank with water saccharification, into the barrel to join the yeast fermentation, distillation twice, aging, mixing. Scotch whisky color brownish yellow with reddish, clear and transparent, smells burnt.
Irish whiskey: Originally from Ireland, it is made from malted wheat, barley and rye. After three distillations, and then into the barrel aging, generally take 8-15 years, bottling and mixing and dilution with water. Because the raw materials do not use peat smoked roast, so there is no burnt flavor, taste is relatively soft and long and moist, suitable for making mixed wine and other beverages **** drink.
American whiskey: corn and other grains as raw materials, originating in the southern United States, with the addition of wheat corn as raw materials for brewing, fermentation, distillation, and then put into the inner side of the smoked oak casks brewed 4-8 years. Bottled with a certain amount of distilled water to dilute, American whiskey is not as strong as Scotch whiskey brilliant smoke flavor, but has a unique oak aroma. Whisky aged more than five years to drink, seven to eight years after the finished wine, fifteen to twenty years after the quality of the finished wine, more than twenty years of whisky its quality will decline.
3) Vodka - VODKA Vodka is derived from the Russian word "water", is a representative of Russia's white wine (Russian winters are cold and long). It is made from barley, wheat, rye or potatoes, plus malt, and is distilled into a spirit with an alcohol content of about 70% or more. The spirit must be passed through birch charcoal after distillation, which not only removes impure ingredients, but also allows the spirit to absorb the sweetness of the charcoal. This is why vodka is characterized by its colorlessness and lack of aroma. Vodka is no longer a Russian specialty, and many countries such as Poland, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan produce vodka of similar quality to that produced in Russia.
